The obligatory page.. who is behind this account

by Trekki - last update: Mar 31, 2008

Somehow it seems that it is a bit obligatory here on VT to write more about the person behind the account, so I do obey and try my best. The lists of likes and dislikes might grow – but ha, that’s a good way for me as well to get to know me.

Likes:

Photography
I love my darlings, the cameras and am more than happy that my new digital SLR accepts to work with my old tele lenses. So I am out for photo hunting almost every time, well, ok, if the weather is nice.

Hiking
The more off path the better. I love my tent(s) and my travels and hikes with them. Nothing is better than to sleep in the 3 million star hotel.

Art, culture and history
Somehow, my mid 2006 travels in Central Asia made me hit the books again, as I realised that I was bored to death at school when it came to history. Well, I am never too old to learn, so now I am digging myself deep into history and arts and find myself even travelling a bit more into towns with historical character.

Monty Python: (24 hours a day, 7 days a week, if possible, lol) - see bottom for some of my favourites on youtube.

Elderberry

Red berries of all kind

More to come..... :-)
Dislikes:
Ah, this list might get quite long…..
I absolutely hate discrimination of all kinds, be it to weaker persons, women, kids, people of different skin colour, belief and religion. This is not only against all common sense but also against human rights. But if it is even allowed for certain governments and companies… well, again, mankind where do you go ?
I also hate well-meaning advice of people who either don’t know me or who are supposed to know me but where advices tell me that they never came across any point I made or that they never have realised how my brain “ticks”. But this seems to be closely related to discrimination – not wanting to realise that other people can be different. It gives me a hard time in life, mostly between 9 and 5, as during the rest of my life, I can easily avoid these weisenheimers by simply turn and leave the scene.

I don’t like the trotten pathes, as they don’t bring me forward a bit. This in the sense as I cannot learn and develop if all is said and known. However, even the trotten pathes do have some secrets to their left and and right, and this I like to discover.

More to come here as well.

Special travels - completely out of the norm

This chapter is dedicated to very much special travels, if you want to do something really off path and out of the norm. The list will continue, and if you have something, you'd like to share, please send me an email.
Thanks :-)

Ecovolunteer is an organization that brings you to places where you can help in ecological projects, such as nursing bear cubs in Russia, otters in Brazil, watch the rainforest in Colombia, and so on. Prices are not that expensive.

Dinner for one :-))))

Haha, now (March 2007), it will take ages until the next Christmas and New Year comes up... but...... Frans (northsea) has posted a link to the one and only Christmas and New Year "movie" -

Dinner for One"

It is out in the wwwww (wonderful world of woldwide web) - check it out, but make sure you have:
1) sound on,
2) 10 minutes of time to watch it,
3) eough tissues to dry the tears you'll laugh and
4) enough distance from the keyboard to avoid keyboard crash when the tears will spill on it:

 Good morning good morning sweet Ingrid! :-) Only 2 more daysssss :-))) I hope the sun is shining down south, as it is still rainy up north. Oh well, I guess that is perfect office weather ;-) Hugs and smiles!

 Guten Morgen, Ingrid. Steht eigentlich der Termin 31.8. für Worms noch? Oder hat sich da was geändert, während ich in Urlaub war? Ich wünsche Dir noch einen schönen Mittwoch, bei ausnahmsweise wirklich schönem Wetter.

 Hi Ingrid, thanks for your ratings and nice comment on my Bern page. That's a fine new lead photo from St. Katherine's Dock on your homepage!
